Triplets for Mame' in the midst of a storm

Posted by Jane Wagman on March 16, 2011 at 12:51pm in Birth Announcements!

Huge windstorm here on Sunday - with gusts around 70 mph.  Thought at one point the barn was coming down around me.    Storm started about 3:30pm and she kidded with triplet buck kids about 9pm when it had calmed down enough that I was only worried about the roof coming off instead of the whole building coming down.

 


 

The boys were just a little over a day old when I let them out into the main barn for the first time - boy did they enjoy kicking up their heels!

    not good -(  I was hoping for 2 does, and was so thankful I at least got one!!!  I will offer this one as a buck - and if no takers, castrated. 

     

    Jan, how do you just post a link to a photo??

    Mame' is one of my org. doelings so she grew up along with my kids - and the are all used to me pointing a camera at them.  :)

     

    My daughters doe kidded for the fist time with twin boys on Sunday night.   So far this year we are 5/0 when it comes to bucks/does.

    Mame, looks so sweet - and she is so comfortable with the "kids" holding the kids - looks like she is claiming all of them. lol.  They are big kids for sure.  You have a nice barn!  The wind is awesome here when it does that - IF, you dont have trees near anything!  Glad every stay where it belonged.  ^^

    How did you get them to all stand still and pose for you?  Nice job on the photo! =)

    awesome!  they look really big.  Wow, it amazes me to think all those kids, and their size was inside Ma.  :)

    #1 & #3 have blue eyes for sure.  #2's eyes look hazel right now - a mix of blue, gray, green & gold

    Congratulations!  Those are good lookin boys =)  Did any of them get her blue eyes?

    Yes last year was in the midst of the black berry patch.  I'm afraid to think what she will do next year to top this year.   This is the third year she has given us triplets and this was a much slower delivery than last year.   About a half hour as opposed to three in nine minutes like last year.   In fact I thought she was done and was passing the afterbirth when I happened to glance up and realized hey thats a body!

    Mame is quite the character, isn't she! I've long thought that goats work hard to live up to their namesake, so it's no surprise that she'd birth in the middle of a windstorm. Last year, it was the blackberry bushes, right? Congratulations! They are beautiful!
